View Full Version : Host file
I opened notebook and modified the Spybot according to instructions, adding five addresses that I want blocked. But on going to the Host list on Spybot program, they are not on the list.In addition when I go to a new web page, such as The Jerusalem Post, these items are trying to gain access. What am I doing incorrectly? Please help.

On trying to go to this page, the following occurred, -switch3.castup. net- trying to connect. This is an example of my additions to host file not working. switch3.castup.net was one of the additions I added to host file, and it should not have been trying to connect or waiting to connect. Please help me and tell me why my additions do not work.

Thank you Sandra. I am using spybot 6.1.9.214. I got instructions from notebook, where list of host file explained how to add items for stopping and then to save the new host file. I lost my original spybot and am trying to find one I had. This one is not the one, as when I run spybot it checks about eight hundred thousand files. The spybot I lost checked one million six hundred thousand files. I tried using the newest spybot but had to leave it as it is completely different. I there a spybot 7?.

Hello reuven,
am using spybot 6.1.9.214.
We don't have such a version. :)
Perhaps you have Advanced SystemCare Free 6 - 6.1.9.214 which is from a different company.
Our software, Spybot-S&D, is at version 2.1 http://www.safer-networking.org/private/ ;)
Best regards.
Do not write such nonsense. Spybot is a registered name. And older versions of spybot are available. That spybot only wants to distribute the newest version is not my concern. That spybot sets up a firm with a different name to distribute the newest version, whether the customer wants to upgrade or not is despicable. There are many comments where users of the latest spybot were dissatisfied and went back to an earlier version 6.1.9.214
Why on forum spybot subject host file. Did you refuse to help me? Shame on you.

Hello,
This is useful - because we need some places for Spybot version 1.3.
As version 1.4 is not compatible with Windows 95 we need to give old download adresses to our useres. So thanx.

.That spybot sets up a firm with a different name to distribute the newest version, whether the customer wants to upgrade or not is despicable. :scratch:

Hello tashi Am I going to get an answer to my original query on host file? The last answer by sandra was there was not such a version as 6.1.9.214. Now it is admitted that this spybot is an earlier version.

In order to advise we need to know which version you have of our software.

Actually,

Can you provide a link to this version 6.1.9.214, thank you.
Best regards.
I do not understand. I gave you all the information you requested. First there was a denial that the Spybot I was using was not Spybot Then an admittance that earlier versions of Spybot, including the one I am using is available.Am I going to get a reply to my original question or not?
That is why I went back to earlier version of Spybot. Perhaps I will get an answer to my query -Host file- that I submitted several days ago or was it weeks?

The topic was started Jun 26th, 2013, please do provide a link to where this version 6.1.9.214 is hosted, thank you! ;)

Please open Spybot Search & Destroy > Help > About and let us know the version and the date of last definitions. A screen shot would be best. :thanks:
Kind regards.
After spending 4 hours, SpyBot found 96 malicious entries. But unlike the original versions,no list is posted with instructions click to fix .How am I supposed to fix. Now I will have to spend more time. Please tell me the correct procedure.
